The Problem
Most funded startups either overpay agencies who don't understand their culture, or burn founder time screening hundreds of applicants. You need someone who plugs into your team, builds the process, and delivers hires, not just CVs.
What We Do
Flexible by design. Pick the model that matches your stage, scale, and hiring needs.
We become your in-house TA team on a retainer. End-to-end hiring, from defining the role to signed offer. You get a dedicated recruiter without the full-time cost.
Targeted candidate pipelines for hard-to-fill roles. We find the people, verify them, and deliver a shortlist you can act on. You handle interviews and offers.
Audit and rebuild your recruitment process from scratch. Interview frameworks, scorecards, ATS migration, and workflow automation, built to scale.
Hands-on sessions for your hiring team on AI tools, structured interviewing, sourcing techniques, and modern recruitment practices. Group or 1-on-1.
How It Works
We learn about your team, your open roles, and your hiring challenges. 30 minutes, no pitch.
We recommend the right engagement model and send a clear scope with timeline and pricing.
We plug into your tools, align with hiring managers, and start sourcing and screening within days.
Candidates accept. Processes are documented. Your hiring engine keeps running after we're done.
